In a new motion filed Monday, prosecutor Jeff Ashton said that Baez missed a Feb. 17 deadline to submit documentation.

Frye hearings have been scheduled for March 23-25. The hearings will deal with what scientific evidence will be allowed at the trial.

In a written order, Perry said that the "defense counsel shall submit in writing the specific issues that will be objected to." The deadline for such submission was Feb. 17 at 4 p.m.

Ashton wrote that after receiving nothing as of that time, he spoke with Baez on Feb. 18.

He said Baez expressed "some confusion" as to the order and then followed up with an email to the court's judicial assistant claiming he didn't understand what was required of him.

"We are a bit confused," Baez wrote in the email. "I understood it to mean that if we were objecting to anything not in our motion that it should be in writing. That was also my understanding as to what was discussed at the status hearing. I have also discussed the matter with Mr. Mason and he is just as confused if not more."

Ashton's motion asked for Baez to be required to show why he should not be held in contempt of court.

The case heads back to court for a status hearing on March 2. WESH.com will stream the hearing live.

Jury selection for Anthony's murder trial is scheduled to begin May 9.
